  9. What was the last book you read? The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations. It shows how the level of transparency in financial bookkeeping has determined the fate of societies throughout history.

  15. What is your favorite benefit the MSCPA offers? Getting involved with the committees has helped me meet experienced professionals in the Boston area. Coming from a different environment, the MSCPA has connected me with a network of peers and mentors in a very short period of time. 
  16. What organizations do you like to give back to/volunteer for? Association of Latino Professionals For America. I’d been involved since grad school. I’d like to take on a leadership role. 
  17. What about accounting excites you the most? I believe we can define a business, a state or a country by how well its accounts are kept and how well they are presented. Financial statements are about storytelling.
